| Obverse description | The obverse features a central design of two crossed post horns set against a horizontally striped background, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel tied at the base and surmounted by a small floral ornament at the apex. The encircling legend reads KANSAN TYÖ, KANSAN VALTA (meaning 'People's Work, People's Power') in the upper arc, flanked by the bilingual country names SUOMI and FINLAND along the sides, with the date 1918 displayed prominently at the base, accompanied by two small floral stops. The design is characteristic of the Finnish Red Guards' coinage issued during the Finnish Civil War of 1918, reflecting the socialist symbolism of the period. |
